Chocobos

Chocbos have an important role in Final Fantasy VII.  Without them you may never get out of the Gold Saucer, gain GP for use at the Gold Saucer, and without chocobos you will never get the most powerful Materia in the game.  This page is dedicated to the little feathered friends.

Catching a Chocobo

    You'll need the Chocobo Lure Materia, which you can buy from ChocoBill at the Chocobo Ranch during your first visit there.  Equip this Materia and make sure you have some Greens before you head out to the tracks.  You can buy Greens from ChocoBilly at the Chocobo Ranch and from the Chocobo Sage, who lives in a solitary house in the Northern Continent.  The Chocobo Sage has more expensive Greens.  However, some Tantal Greens (400Gil each) from ChocoBilly are fine.  Go to some Chocobo Tracks and walk about over them.  When you get into a battle on the Chocobo tracks, there is a great possibility of being up against monsters and a Chocobo.  Do not fight the Chocobo, but give it some Greens.  Make sure you do this first, because the Chocobo will run away if you attack it or the enemies near it.  The Chocobo will now stay there eating the Greens even if you attack the enemies.  Kill the enemies (but do not attack the Chocobo - do not use Summon Monsters), and the Chocobo is yours.
